random thursday video 1 year anniversary, hip hip hooray!
February 15th, 2009
it’s with much pleasure and squealing delight that i make it to my first year’s anniversary of the randommel weekly thursday videos and i’ve had a blast!
i’m often asked how it all came about and the truth is by accident, and boy what a great accident (if only they could all be that good, given how accident prone i am). so this time last year, i was in charge of organising the future of web apps miami event whist working at carsonified.
i wanted to do a little promo for the event to show how excited i was, but didn’t want to speak (you know what it’s like to hear your own voice!). feedback was great and what girl doesn’t like a little boost to her ego?
the next week was valentines and it seemed there was a lot going on, so i did another. before you know it i’d done a couple and when i forgot to do them or thought that i’d done enough, i’d get emails asking for more and so they continued.
i’ve had amazing support from you all over the past year, dedicated regular viewers and even some videos in my honour. i often pinch myself as it all seems too good to be true, but it’s then i remember what industry we’re in… the best one in the world!
so, thank you! as long as they’re welcome, they’ll continue!

Funnily enough it’s the text-cards and how they’re used with simple facial expressions to communicate which make the clips stand out from others on the net - they’re nice and easy to digest with little thought which suits a quick glance whilst in work. Well done for coming up with such an effective creation
